Santiago is truly a hero, especially in the eyes of a little kitten he helped. Rescued as a stray behind a restaurant, he was found in rough shape but still managed to charm everyone around him. This friendly boy is not just easygoing; he also loves leash walks and adapts well to new situations. Since settling into the shelter, Santiago has made friends and exhibits playful, spirited behavior. He showed off his zoomie skills while play bowing to a fellow neutered male. Though he’s a bit shy at first, it doesn’t take long for his affectionate side to shine through. Santiago's great with dogs, but we don't yet know how he interacts with cats. It's important to arrange meet-and-greets with other dogs and children to ensure everyone is a perfect match. After caring for a kitten in need, he reminds us that heroes often need saving too. With his adoption fee currently reduced to just $40 until August 15, now is a great time to bring him home. Remember the 3-3-3 rule for a smooth transition: three days for decompressing, three weeks for settling in, and three months to build trust. Santiago is ready for a forever home; could you be the one? Click apply to start the adoption process.
